CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - A former Chesapeake police officer was sentenced in Chesapeake Circuit Court Thursday, placed on supervised probation, and had to register as a sex offender.
Michael S. Boyd, 32, was sentenced to three years in prison with all three years suspended for using a communications system-email and texting for sexual purposes, according to the Chesapeake Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.
The charges began with a complaint from a concerned citizen, so police did their own sting on Boyd.
They posed as a 16-year-old girl named "Brittany."
Boyd responded to the text messages, then sent pictures of his face, bare chest, bare buttocks, and private parts in hopes of receiving nude pictures from "Brittany."
On Thursday, Boyd was also ordered to continue counseling.
